One of the gymnasts that is most remembered is Nadia Comaneci. She is from Rome and is known for scoring a perfect 10 on the uneven bars. She was born on November the 12th, 1961 in Onesti. She started gymnastics at the age of six in 1967 and retired at twenty in 1981. After her first ten, she went on to score six more and win six gold medals! She has two moves named after her on the uneven bars. One is the toe on to a half turn and back flip and the other is a cast to a straddle front flip. She was the first Roman gymnast to win the all round title at the Olympic games. She has won it three times since!
